I'm the solo developer of Bronze & Glory, a free turn-based gladiator game that runs in the browser on desktop or phone.
Every attack shows its hit chance, damage and energy cost before you commit, and your opponent telegraphs its next move. Four classes, a 100-opponent campaign, and online duels against real people with a free account. Nothing to download, and Quick play needs no sign-up, so the link drops you straight into a bout.
The hard part of a small multiplayer game is that the online queue is empty when you arrive alone. So if you try it, try it now and send the link to one friend so you can duel each other. If nobody else is searching, a clearly labelled Practice Bot steps in instead of leaving you waiting.

What I'd most like feedback on: did your first bout make sense without reading anything, and what (if anything) would make you play a second one? I'll answer every reply, and I'm happy to play and give feedback on games others post here too.
played the quick play gladiator sprint in the browser and won the first bout in 7 turns. the "next:" tag over the rival plus hit chance and damage range on every button made each turn a real choice, and i liked seeing light attack drop from 41-52 to 16-21 when the rival was about to guard. what confused me was the opening: i just clicked advance three times to cross 8 spaces while getting shot, as a level 10 against a level 16, with no hint whether closing in or staying at range was the better play.
